I had a similar problem. it was either
1) on the PDC there is already an account for the machine you're attempting
to
add; or
2) there wasn't an account on the PDC.
Check server manager on the PDC (remeber to view all) for a macahine account
for the machine you're trying to join to the domain. if it's there drop
it.
If it's not add it.
